March in Bhutan: skies are blue, rhododendrons and peach trees are blooming, and fields are full of winter wheat. Return visits to sacred sites in the Paro and Thimphu valleys have been different experiences and just as special as the first ones. I’ve already seen a few familiar faces, starting with the happy surprise of being met at the Paro airport by Nima, who was our driver last October. Last night in Thimphu, I had another fun evening with Jack and Karma who were kind enough to invite me over to their home again, where I met more of their interesting friends over yak burgers and the unbeatable K5 whiskey. My guide this time is Tshe Tshe, and we’re off to a great start. It is so good to be back here, and there is much to look forward to.
Tomorrow we begin heading east, first to Punakha for a couple of days, and then on to Bumthang for a trek…
there is nothing like a good yak burger!
This K5 whisky has peaked my interest… any chance we can find it in TO? hahaha!
Wicked!
